Indian Test openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal are unlikely to be part of the Men in Blue\u2019s Asia Cup 2025 squad, which is set to be announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) next week. According to a report in news agency PTI on Monday (August 11), the selection committee won\u2019t be too keen to tinker with the present T20I setup in which Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar, Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya form a solid top five.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbhishek Sharma is the world\u2019s No. 1 T20 batter in the last ICC rankings. Sanju Samson was fantastic last season with both bat and gloves. So it will certainly be a tough call, but Shubman in current form (although in Tests) can\u2019t be ignored. He had a good IPL also. The problem for selectors is, there are too many performers at the top of the order,” a BCCI source privy to developments told PTI.<\/p>\n

It has been reported that \u201cit would be very difficult to find a slot for Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan. Even KL Rahul, who is now the first-choice keeper in ODIs, is unlikely to be considered, as he doesn\u2019t bat in the middle order.”<\/p>\n

Jurel vs Jitesh for 2nd keeper slot<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Samson, who scored three centuries in T20Is for India last year, is all set to be first-choice wicketkeeper-batter in the Asia Cup 2025, the choice for the second keeper\u2019s slot will be between Jitesh Sharma and Dhruv Jurel.<\/p>\n

While Jurel was a part of the last T20 series against England in January-February 2025, Jitesh had been impressive for RCB during their IPL-winning campaign.<\/p>\n

No Nitish Reddy<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Hardik Pandya remains India\u2019s first-choice white-ball seam-bowling all-rounder, Nitish Kumar Reddy, who suffered injury during the five-match Test series between India and England, is unlikely to get fit in time. Shivam Dube, who made a good comeback against England, is likely to find his place in the squad.<\/p>\n

Axar and Washington Sundar are set to be the other two spin-bowling all-rounders in the squad.<\/p>\n

Krishna vs Rana for third seamer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh will lead India\u2019s fast bowling attack in the Asia Cup 2025, but there\u2019ll be a fight between IPL 2025 Purple Cap winner Prasidh Krishna and Harshit Rana for the third seamer\u2019s role.<\/p>\n

Likely contenders:<\/strong> Suryakumar Yadav (C), Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (WK), Tilak Verma, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana\/Prasidh Krishna, Hardik Pandya, Jitesh Sharma\/Dhruv Jurel.<\/p>\n
